    My Story

    Over the past 7 years, I have spent countless hours creating art with Blender.Testing different strategies, trying different methods, and working on all sorts of different projects.One day, I set out to create a class containing multiple courses that I wish I had when I first started using Blender and creating stylized art -- to save people countless hours,and pave the way for new Blender artists to pick up a strong foundation quickly.That became this masterclass here on your page right now.This is not just a regular class: new courses have been added over time, which are kept up to date.Not only that, but it includes a vibrant and active community, with members ranging from total beginners to industry professionals.
    We look forward to seeing you inside!    --zha
